While driving to the store the other day, a thought occurred to me. Given that Catholicism is really into the Virgin Mary (bit of an understatement, I know), why aren’t there more Christmas songs about her, for her, to her?
I know Ave Maria is popular during this time of year, but that’s about the only song I can think of. Are there others I don’t know about?
I’m not saying we need more, please, don’t misunderstand me, just a simple observation.
I mean, aside from Mary in the nativity scene there’s not even a lot of Christmas chotchkies with her depiction, no Santa and Mary, nothing. I’m thinking that Mary Christmas chotchkies could be the next form of Indulgences that the Catholic Church could get behind. See what I did there, Mary Christmas instead of Merry Christmas? This could even be the gold mine the church needs to pay off the abuse lawsuits. Just a thought.
